Default Forceful III

One of the 4 trophies was Forceful III which belonged to the 21st CAR (GGFG). This tank sat outside of the Cartier Square Drill Hall for several years until it was given to the new CWM.
Here is a photo that I found at Archives. Forceful III is shown stored at a hangar at Borden. From the clothing I would suspect 1950s. Note that the barrel is plugged and a chalk marking on the side states "Not to be stowed on deck".
